My school is comprised of students in high poverty in a rural setting outside of a larger city who have very little access, if any, to books and reading materials outside of our school walls. However, they enjoy reading books that interest them, and they can be voracious readers when the subject matter interests them. My students are some of the most kind and caring I have ever taught, but our money is limited, and therefore our classroom sets of novels are either falling apart or there is no money to buy the more contemporary titles. My students deserve to have novels to read that they will remember past my classroom door, and I believe that this will be one of them!
